What guests say
8.1 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 374 guest reviews
The Ship Motel earns consistently solid marks for its unbeatable walkable location near downtown restaurants, docks, and attractions, with guests repeatedly noting it as its standout feature. However, the property is frankly dated and bare-bones — thin walls, noise bleed from neighbours and the street, no on-site breakfast, and limited amenities like ice are recurring frustrations. It suits budget-conscious travellers who prioritise location over comfort or facilities.
